Change Management Service (CMS)
Change Management Service is used to maintain tracks and keep track of what version is deployed on different servers in the landscape. CMS can also transfer code between tracks. This is often used when creating tracks supporting development of general components, development of main components and finally maintaining deployment of full solutions.
Transferring code between tracks in order to achieve merge and joins between deployed production versions.
The CMS consists of layers on each track.
- Check-In : where initial source is loaded to the track.
- Development : represents the deployment to a development system. Changes are deployed on a DC level.
- Consolidation : represents the deployment to a consolidation system.
- Assembly : Stage to accept a change. Combines all DCs to a full SC. Version number labels are possible to set here.
- Test : represents the deployment to a test system. Changes are deployed on a SC level.
- Confirm : Confirmation stage before moving the change to production.
- Production : represent the deployment to a production system.
- System State : Gives an overview of the different versions deployed on different systems.
Each layer have a history and the possibility to go back to an earlier state.

Famous quotes containing the words change, management and/or service:
““But there’s always been rich and poor, and that’s all there is to it. And us two won’t change it, either.”
The carpenter calmly puffs away: “Only the ones that likes it ought to be poor. Let the others have a try at it first. I ain’t got no liking for it. A fellow gets tired of it after a while.””
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
“People have described me as a “management bishop” but I say to my critics, “Jesus was a management expert too.””
—George Carey (b. 1935)
“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
